Introduction to SGML for Museums SGML makes in-depth museum information available and shareable electronically, providing many more options than HTML for using museum information. This workshop is important for policy making museum management, curators and publications people to understand what SGML is, its relevance to museum information, and why NEH,The US Department of Communication, and a consortium of 16 institutions have supported research on SGML use in museums.
